The team working in the project MUNUS 2 will provide a list of suggestions and guidelines for schools giving them instructions and directions in organizing student portfolios and personal education plans. Our next goal is to provide examples of certificates that schools may hand out their students for their extra curriculum work. In order to gain higher academic achievements of upper secondary school students, and to lower the number of dropouts, the team will develop several models of a personal education plan. Preparing a personal education plan for a student who does not meet curriculum requirements is an essential tool in improving one’s academic achievement. Nevertheless, poor academic performance and social exclusion are closely linked.

The team will develop and prepare a set of documents – forms to be used by school counsellors, class teachers, and teachers whose students do not meet curriculum requirements. In order to develop the forms, we will study at least two cases of similar activities in Europe, and analyse relevant experience of Slovene schools participating in the consortium. Further on, the team will develop an example of a certificate used by a teacher-mentor, principal or a class teacher. The form can be used as a role model when a student is given a certificate for his/her extra curriculum work or for his/her extraordinary curriculum achievements. Students will include their certificates, school reportsand other documents relating to their education, career or personal growth in their portfolios. An example of portfolio will be prepared showing students how to organise and store their documents chronologically. A set of instructions for a student and a teacher will be added to the portfolio. Students will benefit from collecting and storing information on their progress over time; a well organized portfolio will make an individual proud of their achievements. Further on, it will empower them to present and interpret their achievements easily and efficiently.

The team will assess and evaluate its activities and accomplished tasks on a regular basis. The materials – forms prepared by the MUNUS 2 team will be tested in selected schools, and the results thus gained will be fully analysed. Based on the acquired data, the MUNUS 2 team will develop documents in their final forms.
